The word “doctor” has been with us in English since around 1300 AD, but the idea is much older.  “Doctor” comes from the Latin 

word “docere,” meaning “to show, to teach, to cause to 

know.”

Doctors are teachers.  I want to teach 

my patients to be as healthy as possible.

“My white coat still had the wrinkles in it and hadn’t yet developed the indelible ring‐around‐the‐collar grunge that it has today. I was a second‐year medical student, an imposter of the worst sort, sent out to prey on an unsuspecting inpatient to perform one of my first ‘H&P’s. With clammy sweat on my brow and palms, I introduced myself in my best ‘I’m‐almost‐a‐doctor‐can’t‐you‐tell?’ voice and began my interrogation of the ninety‐three‐year‐old man who stared at me over a pile of half‐emptied cups and plates, his torso nearly buried in too‐short blankets.”

“The genome is a scripture in which is written the past history of plagues.  The long struggles of our ancestors with malaria and dysentery are recorded in the patterns of human genetic variation.  Your chances of avoiding death from malaria are pre‐programmed in your genes, and in the genes of the malaria organism.  You send out your team of genes to play the match, and so does the malaria parasite.  If their attackers are better than your defenders, they win.”

“There are human analogies for almost everything in nature.  Bats use sonar; the heart is a pump; the eye is a camera; natural selection is trial and error; genes are recipes; the brain is made from wires (known as axons) and switches (synapses); the hormonal system uses feedback control like an oil refinery; the immune system is a counter‐espionage agency; bodily growth is like economic growth.  And so, infinitely, on.  Although some of these analogies can mislead, we are at least familiar with the kinds of techniques and technologies that Mother Nature employs to solve her various problems and achieve her ingenious designs.  We have reinvented most of them ourselves in technological life.”
